Great to meet you!

I have worked with children, teens, adults, and families who have experienced significant anxiety, depression, and trauma for over 25 years. I aim to help people to understand we all have the power to re-create ourselves and live our best lives.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I utilize cognitive-based exposure therapy to help clients overcome and manage anxiety and reach their true potential.

What you can expect from our first session

My hope is for clients to have a better understanding of how thoughts and feelings affect behaviors. I provide outside assignments for my clients to utilize the skills they have learning in real life situations.
